Despite having a record-setting, league-leading shot-blocker to guard the basket in Brett Royster, the Owls were last in defending 3-pointers and were the only team in the Sun Belt to allow opponents to shoot over 40 percent from behind the 3-point arc.

But Samuelsson tipped in Brett Lebda's pass out of the corner for his fourth of the season and Hudler's pass from the right circle deflected in off the leg of Edmonton defenseman Sheldon Souray at 14: 18.
